Hi ,

For ALE/IDoc there is nothing called from perspective of SAP XI. IDocs are the form of data that are transferred between systems, whereas SAP XI is the transportation system used to pass this data. XI is an Integration broker.

ALE is point to point mainly used for integrating SAP systems and capable of creating a dialogue only between a pair of systems, but SAP XI is capable of involving many systems at the same time. ALE does not support open standards like Webservices etc.

For just SAP XI and SAP connectivity for the IDoc transport, you can use the following links:
